Strange. Please try upgrading the Tar tool:

MSYS Base System
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=24963

Look for:
tar-1.19.90-MSYS-1.0.11-1-bin.tar.gz

Failing that, try upgrading the MSYS runtime with:
MSYS-1.0.11-20080821-dll.tar.gz

You could also do a full upgrade to the latest MSYS 1.0.11 snapshot:
msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar.gz
